It's how the majority of the English speaking word pronounce "router". Some minor English dialects (e.g. en_US and en_CA) get the word "route" (pr. root) mixed up with the word "rout" (pr. rowt); which means something totally different (we guide traffic, not scare it into a disorganised rabble).
In the UK "router" pronounced a la USA (albeit with a "t" rather than a "d") is a woodworking tool. I'm trying to think of a way to put a political spin on that, but I can't. >:-) -- David Harley AVIEN Interim Administrator: http://www.avien.org http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
